This paper investigates a measurement method that characterizes lossy printed multiconductor transmission lines, its accuracy, the choice of measurement representations, and some simple approximations. We illustrate the method with measurements of a pair of lossy coupled asymmetric microstrip lines.

A new technique which allows the simulation of thin ferrite absorbing tiles in a coarse TLM mesh is described. Results are presented which show a good fit to manufacturers' reflectivity curves. Experimental and simulation results for a screened room partially lined with ferrite are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the method. INTRODUCTION The Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method of num...

The article provides analytical expressions for the electromagnetic fields generated by a lightning return stroke characterized channel-base current with arbitrary time waveform, in presence of either perfectly conducting or lossy ground, assuming transmission line model along channel. In this second case, time-domain expression Cooray-Rubinstein formula is presented. main idea that leads to de...

In this paper we consider the problem of finding a smaller RLCM circuit that approximately replicates the behavior (up to a certain frequency) of a given RLCM circuit. Targeted at parasitic extractors for verification of VLSI designs, the proposed algorithm uses a branch merge, node elimination methodology, with the choice of nodes for elimination being guided by time-constant criteria. Reliabl...
